Unite2Uplift, Inc. was established as a nonprofit in 2020 by a group of professionals wanting to create a support system to assist students facing socioeconomic barriers. Coming from an immigrant community ourselves, we want to provide connections and skills to gain access to both education and resources necessary to focus on work and life preparedness. With a goal to empower young adults to make positive changes in their life, we work with Title-I schools and youth organizations in the Denver metropolitan area to promote self-growth, community bonding, upward economic mobility, and a sense of hope. Our mission is to help underprivileged students build their future through Education and Community Support. We offer four distinct programs: • Career Readiness: Assist with job readiness, career exploration and professional skills certification. • Take it easy: Focus on personal growth and mindfulness. • Local And Global: Facilitate multi-cultural orientation for educators. • Helping People, Changing Lives: Support for students and families with basic needs. Unite2Uplift, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, and we served over 815 individuals in 2021. The initial goal: To contribute meaningfully to the community by addressing limited work preparedness skills and to surround students with a nurturing community. It is our experience that the standard career preparation programs are not sufficient to develop youth to be successful. Access to subject matter experts, orientation on essential soft skills and cultural competence are important building blocks to help prepare youth for the 21st century workforce.
